Naradas Mushroom Beach

"Truly excellent value. Small family owned w own restaurant that serves great nisa Goreng.\nGreat pool, extremely relaxing atmosphere.. only minus is quite a lot of noise from local surroundings, but that has its charm as well ..."

"I'd given it 10 stars if I can...\nYes you can have more luxurious rooms elsewhere in Lembongan, but if you want 'Hospitality beyond transactions' and experience 'Culture that cares' to which Balinese culture is all about, this is the place for you.\n\nI booked via booking.com, but you can also book direct using the number in google map, they replied promptly. I arranged for a snorkeling trip via that number before I arrived and everything was handled professionally.\n\nNaradas is a family run business, you will be looked after by Pak Kadek and Bu Putu.\n\nWe booked the family cottage for our 3 children, which comprises 2 cottages with connecting door, and a (stand alone) cottage for me and my husband.\n\nEach cottages has an inviting terrace to hang around. The beds were comfortable with mosquito nets. Basic shampoo,soap, towel and pool towel provided. The cottages have a bar fridge in each room. The bathroom is indoor with some open ceiling opening (I won't classify it as an outdoor bathroom as you can still use it when it's raining, as most bathroom facilities undercover).\n\nThe pool and the sun loungers, surrounded by tropical garden set up is the best place to spend your afternoon after day's activities.\n\nPak Kadek, can help you book the island tours, snorkeling trip, motorbike rents, etc. All at the honest market and reasonable prices (I have compared). Save you from haggling outside with various providers. You don't need aggravation on your holiday.\n\nLocation is also great and so close to the beach (you can certainly and easily walk from the port, save you the additional hotel transfer). Whilst not in the centre of the hustle and bustle of Mushroom beach, you are so close to everything. Several warungs/local cafes around, mini mart in less than 1 minute walk, and If raining, Naradas also has an in-house restaurant called Sambali with descent mix of local and western selections.\n\nMy husband and I hang out several times in the unassuming Warung opposite the hotel for afternoon Bali coffee and snacks.\n\nMy daughter had a health-scare on our last day. Pak Kadek and Bu Putu went above and beyond helping us with the clinic trip, allowing us to stay as long as possible till our ferry crossing so my daughter could rest, helping us with transporting our luggage to the port as they didn't want us to have more worry than what we already had. They did all of these because they see hospitality beyond transactions, because it's their culture to care.\n\nAs I said, if I can give 10 stars I would. I highly recommend Naradas for your stay in Lembongan."

"The best stay without a doubt of our entire trip to Bali. My partner and I travelled for 21 days and this place was by far the best. It is simply magical, both the attention of the family that runs the hotel and the facilities. The room has mosquito nets, good air conditioning and even mosquito repellent plugs. We were also able to do a snorkelling tour with the family who run the hotel and we were so pleased with the island itself and the hotel that we wanted to stay for 3 more days. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, I will definitely come back, a little piece of my heart stays on this island. Thank you."
